Thank goodness. I was down .8 today after all the exercise and lean eating yesterday. I think I've lost my "Christmas" weight by now and now have to target the next 5 lbs that I gained over the fall while I was glued to my computer completing my masters degree. I know I can do it and am actually getting into the good habit of going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. They run some excellent classes that target cardio, strengthening with weights, core, and balance. My degree was all about balance so I do really appreciate this aspect of the class. Then, if I have enough energy, I like to go on the rowing machine in perpetration for summer dragon boating. This gives you a very good work out and is lots of fun. It's something my husband and I enjoy doing together.

Yesterday I put on my skates for the first time in about 10 years. What a hoot that was! The little kids around me were skating circles around me, but I didn't fall and I gradually got my skating legs back.

If anybody out there knows how to personalize the exercise log for activities not listed on the FS database, please let me know. I've simply been estimating energy expenditure based on an activity similar, but I would like to enter the actual activity. Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Thanks

I'm not aware of how you can enter your specific activities. The way the FS activities work is they have 3 levels of how hard you exercise, and then they calculate the calorie expenditure based on your weight. So when you weigh less, you expend fewer calories for the same workout...I've now changed to my fitbit site for exercise, but before on FS, I did exactly as you've done just choosing an exercise that I thought was close. Hope that helps. Have a great day!
